Although Gail has since become a comedy figure among ‘Corrie’ fans (younger viewers probably know her better for getting married a hundred times and ordering a load of olives than her dramatic moments), the character has been involved in some huge storylines over the years, including her daughter’s teenage pregnancy and the murderous deeds of her husband, Richard Hillman.

More recently, the Platt family are at the centre of another drama, with Sarah-Louise currently struggling to cope after being involved in the death of Callum Logan last year.
